TikTok influencer Ashley Barnes is being accused of doing some very serious things while her friend and fellow influencer Brad Mason visited her in LA, and they've got everyone on the app reacting to the so-called "Ashley Barnes drawer video" or "Ashley Barnes situation."

The allegations stem from an incident that happened at the beginning of July 2025, and although Ashley and her dad have provided a defense for her actions, Brad isn't buying it.

So, what is the Ashley Barnes drawer video, and what are the allegations leveled against her? Here's what you need to know.

Who Is Ashley Barnes, And What Are The Allegations Against Her?

Ashley Barnes is a prominent TikTok influencer with over 2.7 million followers on her main account, @ashleyb4253. She's mostly known for her lip dub, dancing and trend videos, and her collaborations with other popular TikTokers. Her frequent collaborators include Brad Mason, who has now come out with some serious allegations against her.

Brad posted his nine-part video series of allegations on July 15th, 2025, gaining millions of views in just a day.

In the videos, he talks about an incident that happened on the night of July 6th, when he flew out to Los Angeles to hang out with her and her roommates and make content together. The influencers got a hotel room to stay at together.

That night, an anonymous "popular TikTok couple" arrived at the hotel to party with them. Ashley allegedly started trying to hit on the male in the couple, despite him repeatedly saying how much he loved his partner.

According to Brad, Ashley had been "weird" that whole night. She was purportedly drinking a lot, trying to get her roommates, Brad and the couple to take illicit substances and spraying "pheromone spray" around the room.

Throughout the night, she continued to try and get her friends and colleagues to take substances, play dirty truth or dare and generally entice the anonymous male TikTok star to get intimate with her.

Then at the end of the night, after the couple and her roommates left, she allegedly got into bed with Brad and tried to get sexual, continuing to act inappropriately.

Ultimately, Brad is accusing Ashley of SA-ing one of her roommates by forcibly making out with her during a game of truth or dare. He's also alleging that she attempted to drug them by trying to force them to take the substances in question, which included "arousal gummies."

Brad claims that he called Ashley's dad to talk about this the next day. He apologized and claimed she's going through addiction, which she also alleged.

She purportedly went to rehab for three days, but got out and continued to drink and party. Brad suggests that the addiction was likely just an excuse for her bad behavior and calls her a liar.

Ashley allegedly responded indirectly to the accusations in a now-deleted video on her now-private second TikTok account.

In the video, she talks about addiction and how it made her a different person, claiming she has about three months that she can hardly remember. The video has since been reuploaded to TikTok.

What Is The 'Ashley Barnes Drawer Video'?

Brad Mason followed up the allegation videos with another video showing evidence to back up his claims. This evidence included screenshots of texts with her dad and other people close to the situation. Most notably, though, he shared what's now known as the "Ashley Barnes drawer video."

In the clip, Brad is shown filming what is allegedly the contents of Ashley's hotel room drawer. The drawer is filled with intimacy toys and products, including fuzzy handcuffs, gummies, gels and more.

Some have pointed out the Mormon bible also present in the drawer, although it's unclear if the bible was already there, or belongs to Ashley.
